By Monday afternoon Dr. Shekhar Koirala was confused, should we promote Chief Minister Gagan Kumar Thapa as the leader of the parliamentary party or should we compete ourselves?
Sher Bahadur Deuba, who competed in the 14th Congress of the party in November last year, was under pressure and desire to challenge him in the parliamentary party as well. When he entered the competition, he was not in a position to get the support of his chief minister Gagan. Because Gagan, who was elected as a member of the House of Representatives from Kathmandu - 4, presenting himself as the future prime minister, had decided to contest the election of the parliamentary party in any case.
